Spaghetti and Marshmellow Structure

Kia Ora,

Today we made structures out of spaghetti and a marshmellow. We could use sellotape and string to make it stand up striaght. We had to make it stand up with the marshmellow at the top without us touching it.  We did not do that good we tried to make it like the Ei
fal Tower but it collpsed with the weight of the marshmellow. The good thing that happened was that it was stable without the marshmellow.

Our Production

Kia Ora,

Thursday this week we did our production twice. It was called Goodbye My Friend. We did a matinee performance and a night performance. I was the leader in my dance so I had to lead my line onto the stage and Liam lead the other line. I mucked up on one of the actions I jumped one chorus forward and Luke did the exact same thing. After that I had to get changed into my greys because I had a speaking part and I was a kid at school watching violent movies.

In the end I had a great time.

The Korfball session

Kia Ora

This week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we had korfball sessions with a man calld Youri and on the last day a man called Torston. They taught us how to play korfball. The game is basiclly netball combined with basketball. You can shoot from anywhere and once you caught the ball you can only move one foot. And you can pivet out of being defended by stepping one step away from the defender then it is easier to pass or shoot. If someone is marking you within arms length you can not shoot you either have to pass or pivet out. Here is a picture.

Thursday Urban-Eel Trip

Kia Ora

On Thursday we had to walk all the way to the heathcote river for the Urban-Eel project. Matt, Bridget and Toni were the organisers of this and were the ones teaching us. My favourite part was when we could touch the eels. The way to tell long fin from short fin is by when the bend if the have wrinkles they are long fin if not short fin. You can also tell the gender because the females are fatter then the males becausen they need to lay eggs. Heres a picture
